Maine requires liability coverage on every registered vehicle. The legal floor:
Minimum coverage keeps you legal, not necessarily solvent: the average new truck costs more than $25,000 to replace, so one at-fault accident can outrun your property-damage limit.
UM/UIM and MedPay also required.
Minimums cross-checked against Insurance Information Institute and state DOI sources, July 2026; see our methodology. Rules change; verify current minimums with your state's Department of Insurance.
Maine rates average about 34% below the national average, near $44/mo for liability and $131/mo for full coverage. Lighter traffic, fewer claims, and lower repair costs keep pricing down, and comparing 3 or more quotes can push your rate lower still.
Fines, license and registration suspension, SR-22 filings, and reinstatement fees, with exact amounts set by Maine law. Check current penalties with the Maine Department of Insurance, then let Scout dig up a minimum-coverage policy that costs less than the paperwork.
